Ruslan Chagaev: I'm not contagious!
Throughout his professional career, Valuev, nicknamed the Russian Giant, lost only one fight - in the spring of 2007 to Ruslan Chagaev. For two years, Nikolai, by his own admission, dreamed of revenge. Chagaev, having become a champion, used various pretexts to avoid meeting Valuev in the ring. Three times the rematch between the Russian Giant and White Tyson (Chagaev’s nickname in the boxing world) was disrupted.
